Sex education

I have a faint memory of a master in grammar school spending a short while - maybe 10 minutes - briefly covering the topic of sex largely by saying that we probably knew all about it already; apart from that, nothing. How did we all manage?

Making Love

It seems to me that in the 50s and 60s, making love correctly defined the driving motivation for having sex. Whilst I would not want to suggest that that motivation does not still often exist, I would suggest that it is often a euphemism for no more than physically gratifying sex. Some younger readers probably think that this view shows a lack of understanding caused by increasing years but I would strongly remind younger readers that the odds are that whatever they have done - or are doing - has been done just as much but probably more often (albeit maybe not as publicly) by the old people that you dismiss as not knowing anything. Sex without emotional involvement versus sex with love? Those of you, of whatever age, who have done both will know which is better.
